in_o due_a time_n and_o place_n answ_n it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o mr._n bushnel_n be_v present_a all_o the_o time_n of_o this_o debate_n and_o be_v a_o diligent_a observer_n of_o all_o my_o

to_o these_o man_n who_o he_o know_v thus_o to_o act_v his_o favourable_a countenance_n and_o furtherance_n answ_n that_o i_o may_v at_o once_o draw_v this_o and_o all_o charge_n of_o the_o like_a

be_v prove_v and_o then_o and_o there_o it_o be_v that_o i_o say_v to_o he_o he_o call_v for_o witness_n to_o prove_v the_o article_n that_o the_o several_a party_n shall_v be_v bring_v face_n to_o

upon_o this_o be_v prevail_v upon_o by_o their_o often_o and_o earnest_a protestation_n i_o leave_v they_o to_o do_v what_o they_o think_v fit_a only_o i_o do_v take_v knowledge_n of_o they_o when_o
